If you don't understand that love is connected to empathy to be more than just a word, you're indeed a very poor person. One wonders why you seem to believe that even one of us could be attracted to your kind of christianity. But, of course, to understand that, you would need to have some empathy.
Arent you a pot calling the kettle black.
Love is so much more than emotion. Real love goes infinity beyond the fuel/feeling that summon the emotion you are describing. If youre trying to tell me of a one dimensional love, you are the one who is at a loss sport.
The greeks knew this and subdivided that word love into 6 different words. You my sad little friend are only describing what they identified as "Ludis and Eros." To most of you that is the limit of your love, why because your 'empathy' will not allow you to grow beyond it. Yet here you are presuming to tell me what I've been missing by experincing the depths your Ludis and Eros goes..
Yeah, I think I'm good where I am. let me know how deep that well of you 'love' goes though.
